Culture, Values, and the Four Healthy Pillars

Cigna's culture is structured around the "Four Healthy Pillars": Healthy Society, Healthy Workforce, Healthy Environment, Healthy Company. Underneath that ESG framework sits a more complicated reality — a 3.5/5 Glassdoor rating, a 2024 in-office mandate, multiple rounds of layoffs, and a leadership development program tradition (TECDP, ALDP, OLDP, HRLDP, MLDP) that produces a deeply tenured "Cigna for life" cohort. This module helps candidates navigate the culture conversation honestly: speaking the company's official language while acknowledging what employees actually report.
